Chapter 47 Falling Into the Valley
Chapter 47 Falling Into the Valley
Chester was completely scared by the group of fierce girls. He rolled and crawled away from here, followed far behind, daring not approach closer.
Rachel continued to look for iris, and the girls were also searching for her. Unfortunately, they searched everywhere, but still got nothing.
When they passed by a stream of water in the mountains, the guide told everyone in a passionate manner, "There's nothing else in the Prosperous Mountain, but the spring water in the mountain is the most special. It nearly penetrates through the whole mountain and supports all the creatures on the mountain..."
"I heard there will be a lot of valuable medicinal materials in the water! A lot of precious medicinal herbs are either growing in dangerous peaks, in hidden water or on shore... "
Rachel didn't hear other words, except that there was a possibility of iris in the river.
Therefore, when the guide led others to walk forward, Rachel secretly stopped.
She didn't want to delay their schedule, nor did she want these lovely girls to hard searching for iris for her.
Standing at the edge of the stream, Rachel watched it quietly. There were different types of water plants in the bottom of the water. Could the iris grow in the stream?
Throughout her journey just now, she didn't see any iris. So it was very likely that it didn't grow in ordinary soil?
Otherwise, iris wasn't a rare herb.
Thinking of this, Rachel took off her shoes without hesitation. She rolled up her trouser legs and put her foot down in the stream gently.
The cold water pierced her to the bone. She couldn't help withdrawing her feet. But when she thought of Clark's situation, she had no choice but to jump into the water.
Rachel stooped and reached out into the water for a while. There were fish swimming under the water, and all kinds of grass swaying in the water. However, she still could not find iris.
However, she was not willing to give up. Rachel went to search every spot of the stream, from the head of the stream to the other end. The sun was about to go down the mountain, but she was still unwilling to give up.
By this time, her fair skinned shanks had long been scratched by water plants, and the sole of her feet was also scratched by stones. A few strands of blood mixed with the water.
Standing up, Rachel felt her head dizzy, and then she fell straight into the water.
A pair of eyes were wide open behind her!
Chester quickly ran out of the grass and held her up, shouting, "Rachel! Rachel!"
He had taken a photo of her and asked someone to check her identity. To his surprise, she was an actress who had a hit these days!
He seldom cared about the entertainment industry, so he didn't recognize her in the beginning.
Along the way, Chester got the information from other girls that Rachel was looking for iris.
Chester carried her to the shore. Looking at her badly injured legs, his ache started to ache for her.
After some hesitation, Chester called his subordinate.
After a while, Rachel woke up and saw a man was holding her in his arms, and the man was looking at her affectionately.
She woke up in an instant!
She struggled and threw back the coat he put on her shoulder on him. Then she picked up a stone and threw it at him. "You've gone too far. How dare you take advantage of me!"
Chester hurriedly dodged away from the stones that she kept throwing at him. He explained, "Listen to me, you fainted just now. I didn't have the heart to see you drown in the water, so I took you up. It's okay that you didn't thank me, but you returned kindness with ingratitude!"
"Who told you to save me? I don't need your help at all!" said Rachel, throwing another stone at Chester angrily.
When Chester saw that she stopped beating him, he stopped and asked curiously, "Well, What did you do by wandering in the river alone? What if you really meet some bad people?"
"It's none of your business!" She turned her face away and ignored him. Chester asked again, "Tell me, what are you looking for? Let me help you. Besides, I'm a man with stronger physical strength than you. Maybe I can help you find it before you get it."
Rachel realized she was physically tired and she couldn't stay here for much longer. It was getting dark, so she had to go down the mountain as soon as possible, or she didn't know what would happen in the middle of the night.
All in all, she seemed to need the help of the man in front of her.
"Okay." after a moment's hesitation, Rachel said unwillingly, "If you can help me to find iris, I'll make friend with you as well."
"Pfff!" Chester was amused by her proud look. Did he beg her to make friends with him?
However, he liked this kind of girl with strong personality.
"Iris?" Chester's eyes suddenly lit up and said mysteriously, "I heard that there is a forest ahead and there are a lot of precious medicinal materials inside. Do you want me to take you there?"
"Really?" asked Rachel, looking at him with doubt.
Chester nodded seriously, "Of course, why should I lie to you?"
So, Rachel followed Chester to the forest he mentioned. Once she entered it, she only saw some ordinary medicinal material. But while she was walking forward, she found iris which was exactly the same as the one shown in the picture!
"Wow, that is iris!" Rachel screamed and rushed over there!
Seeing her like a rabbit, a faint of satisfaction flashed through Chester's eyes. How could a dozen irises win her heart? It was easy for her to get satisfied. And her hobby was quite different from others?
In the face of these irises, she was reluctant to pick them up. This was the medicine which was rarely found by others.
Chester looked at the sky above him and urged, "If you want to pick it up, hurry up. It's getting dark, and it seems to be going to rain!"
Rachel nodded. She opened her backpack, took out the prepared bag, and dug the iris together with the mud, putting it into the bag. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Seeing this, Chester hurriedly crouched and helped her to dig the iris.
After all this, it began to rain!
Taking a look at the remaining two iris, Rachel was about to reach out her hand, but Chester quickly helped her to dig them!
After that, Chester took Rachel by the hand and was going to leave. "Let's go and find a place to take shelter from rain!"
After running a few steps and shaking off his hand, Rachel panted, "you can go first, I can't run anymore! I am tired."
"No way! It's too dangerous for you to stay here alone. Let's go together!" Chester replied. He wouldn't leave his woman alone here.
Sighing with profound resignation, Rachel said, "Then you go ahead and I will follow you."
With heavy bags in his hands, Chester walked in front to find the way for Rachel, and she followed him, fumbling forward.
"Ah!"
A sudden scream came from behind Chester. He quickly turned his head and was shocked to see that Rachel fell down!
Her body kept rolling down the hill. Her speed was so fast that Chester didn't even have time to react!
"Rachel!" Chester was so anxious that he quickly put down the bag in his hand and ran towards the direction where Rachel fell. But soon, he couldn't see her anymore.
At this time, footsteps came from the opposite direction. It was the guide running towards them with the group of girls.
When the girls saw Chester, they came forward aggressively and questioned him, "Lecher, did you take our sister away?"
However, Chester had no time to argue with them, and he pointed at the hillside at once and said, "Stop it. Rachel fell down from the hillside just now. I'm going to look for her now!"
Chester took the lead to run down the valley.
When the others saw this, they were all dumbfounded, and wondered how Rachel rolled down from here? It was a valley down there!
